Review Summary

Users appreciate the extension for providing a clean, dark new tab page that enhances focus without privacy intrusions. The subtle textured dark background is favored over plain black by many, although some find it unsettling. Consistent requests for more customization, especially the ability to change or cycle background images, highlight a desire for personalization. Overall, the extension is valued for its simplicity, privacy, and compatibility with Chromium browsers.

Pros

  • Provides a clean, dark new tab page that reduces distractions and is better for focus.
  • Has a nice dark theme that is not just plain black, with muted texture adding aesthetic value.
  • Does not require intrusive permissions or collect user data, ensuring privacy.
  • Works well with Chromium and does not break search functionality or interfere with browsing.
  • Highly appreciated by users seeking a simple, privacy-respecting blank new tab experience.

Cons

  • Some users find the background's dark texture unsettling or too 'dark web'-like.
  • Lack of customization options, such as changing or cycling background images, is a commonly requested feature.
  • Some users would prefer a pure black blank page with no texture.
  • No built-in option to change or customize the background image.
